Probably the CAI...

I would solve it by doing a muffler delete. Or even better a Mid-pipe delete...

when foot is applied to the brake in park, it still makes the whistle. only when i switch the tranny into gear is when it stops.

i read that about the tb last nite, but all i saw was some aftermarket tbs doing that... the motor is currently still bone stock... what would cause the tb to whistle? does that mean its on its way out?

this car bs is never ending

You're really sure it's not your serp belt? In cold weather, they are more prone to make noise than when the rubber is warmer and supple. The RPM change in going from park to drive could be enough to quiet it down.

Does it make any funny noises when you are on it and the trans goes to shift?
